I photograph people - almost exclusively. I am interested in photographing people in two distinct states of being – when in the most public and in the most intimate places.

I like to photograph strangers that are usually not aware of my existence and if they are, it is usually too late for them to "prepare" for the shot. These people become iconic to me.

At the very other extreme, I use the camera to penetrate people's most intimate space. Through open dialog I try to learn who they are and gain access to what goes on in their head. I always hope that some of this translates to the final photograph.

In both cases I am interested in exploring truth and falsehood in photography. I look to create an alternate reality from "what was there", or at least to raise questions about it.
